#(yes Ikkaku is flirting with Law's ex but she's allowed)

[ikkaku-of-heart]

@icyharpy​ asked: Sidling up to the Hearts engineer, Monet leans over to give Ikkaku a peck on the cheek. " Consider this my thanks for the ice cream earlier." (Even after so long I still can't get over them having a lil ice cream date + Ikkaku could use a nice cool smooch.)

Unprompted

The lips that pressed against Ikkaku’s cheek were remarkably soft, but the chill that seeped into her flesh was biting. Not quite enough to cause permanent damage, thankfully, but the sting was there. Yet it wasn’t wholly unpleasant, either. The engineer did enjoy a bit of pain to go with her pleasure, even if she wasn’t quite sure she trusted the harpy enough with that little secret. So for now, she’d simply enjoy the little thrill it gave her.

Turning, Ikkaku glanced at Monet suspiciously before deciding that she wasn’t looking to cause trouble, and her thanks were sincere. After all, if she wanted to kill her, she would have done so already and not wasted time with a friendly peck.

“You’re welcome,” she said, nodding her head and giving a half-smile. “Glad we were able to come to an...understanding of sorts. No better ceasefire than an ice cream date. Keep up the good behavior and maybe we could have another.”

She turned to leave, but only got a few feet before glancing over her shoulder and giving Monet a cheeky wink. “And if you’re very good, maybe someday you can have some of my private stash.”
